[QUOTE="Suz2, post: 2106579, member: 511909"] Here's a help. ICD-10 has specific codes to identify nonsmokers and levels of alcohol use. In order to submit those codes there must be documentation in your medical record that your practitioner has asked you the questions received your answer. So, go with the response that nothing has changed since your last visit and the practitioners have documented your response to these history questions and can record the ICD-10 diagnoses. Why is this important? Statistical reports. When you read that x%of patients diagnosed with lung cancer have been smokers, these codes are where this information comes from. If your history hasn't changed, speak up and short circuit the litany of inane questions. But remember, the data is impotant. [/QUOTE]
